Someone Sent This To Me Today . . .

. . . and I suppose they thought I would think it was funny.

The Culture of Fear

In case you missed it, a bunch of folks in England were arrested in the last 24 hours for allegedly planning to blow up a bunch of planes bound for the United States. Officials were careful not to disclose too much information so as to not jeopardize any "ongoing investigation." But that didn't stop the Administration from these two statements this morning. (1) The plan is "suggestive of an al Qaeda plot" - U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff says (2) "We are still assessing the links to al Qaeda; however, a plot of this sophistication is suggestive of al Queda tactics." - Attorney General Alberto Gonzales Translated: We have no evidence of al Quada's involvement, but let's throw that name out there to scare you even more. Michael Moore calls it the "Culture of Fear": The more the government keeps us afraid the less likely we are to question their actions.

Speaking Of Crime

With the passage of time, things don't look good for solving the case of the murdered Sarah Ann Walker, the realtor from McKinney.

Holy Cow!!!

Over the past couple of weeks, I've posted the videos of two violent crimes. One was about the guy who suckered punched the customer in a McDonald's line, and another (posted this morning) showed a guy hitting a clerk over the head with a heavy liquor bottle. Small world. Fox4News said tonight that an arrest had been made in both cases and, amazingly, it's the same guy allegedly doing both acts of violence: Tony Wayne Swinnie. (I'm working on a pic.)

Speaking Of Alcohol

The Ticket's funnyman Gordon Keith normally is a comic genius. Then, sometimes, he is just a genius. For those that have ever had an alcoholic in the family, you should print this out and give it to them. There are a couple of lines in there that need to be read again and again.

Two Stories On This Morning's Today Show

Nothing starts your day like a liquor bottle over a clerk's head (it's brutal) and a thrown chair (not brutal). But please wait until the end to see Ann Curry make the very insightful comment of "people need to calm down relax."

Another Poll Closed

Fair and Balanced

Brief summary: Ned Lamont and Joe Lieberman are involved in a primary election today for Lieberman's senate seat in Connecticut. Lieberman is for the war in Iraq. Lamont is against it. The smart people of Connecticut will throw Lieberman out of office for supporting the war and elect Lamont. This scares the heck out of the Republicans because some believe that a Lamont win will signal that many other pro-war incumbents will be thrown out of office in the mid-term elections this fall. Today Fox News threw up this graphic. (Click to enlarge.). Not very fair. Not very balanced.
